North Shore Hauling & Junk Removal LLC

North Shore Hauling & Junk Removal LLC works out of Beverly, and the numbers are hard to ignore: Google shows 5 stars from 296 ratings, and the nine most recent reviews are just as lopsided — all five stars, all within the last two months. The company's own site frames it plainly as a junk removal and clean-out operation, run by Joseph DePamphilis, a North Shore native with prior small-business experience; it also lists small-scale moving help, like dorm rooms, studios, and single items, alongside its core hauling work. The recent reviews read like a pattern rather than a fluke. One customer's mother needed a storage unit in Gloucester emptied — a mattress, box spring, loveseat, and a handful of small items — and the crew showed up ten minutes early for the pickup window and waited patiently for the family to arrive. Another hired the company to empty a house ahead of open houses and then handle the final clean-out before closing, calling it something they "couldn't have done without them." A third had everything cleared within 90 minutes of a first text, at what they called a reasonable price. The name that keeps showing up is Joe — DePamphilis himself. One review describes texting him a photo of items to be hauled and getting a fair quote back, with his crew arriving within 30 minutes and finishing the job professionally. Others mention careful handling around walls, no mess left behind, and one job that included tearing down a large shed. Nothing in the last six months mentions a problem. Worth knowing before calling: this is a hauling and clean-out company first. Its own site is specific that the moving side of the business covers dorm rooms, studio apartments, single large items, and similar small jobs — not full household relocations. Anyone who actually needs a whole home packed and moved should confirm that's something the crew takes on, rather than assuming it from the "moving" label. For clearing out a storage unit, prepping a house for sale, hauling away old furniture or a shed, or moving a single big item, this reads like a well-regarded, fast-responding local outfit — text a photo, expect a same-day or next-day answer, and confirm upfront whether the specific job, especially anything closer to a full move, is one they handle.
